As providers of insurance, our minds
are always pondering the things that mean most to our clients—the
things that cause them, and us, the most distress when they are lost
or harmed. If there's one thing we've come to learn, it's that the
intangible things are the ones that are most valuable to us, and also
(unfortunately) most difficult to replace. One such valuable is your
pet; and while it can be argued that an animal is a tangible thing,
your relationship with that particular animal whose unique habits and
mannerisms you know and love, is most certainly not. This is why a
person who has just lost a pet they have had for ten years is not
going to automatically be consoled with a replacement—it simply
doesn't work that way.
While we've previously discussed the
usefulness of pet insurance in terms of covering veterinary bills and
so forth, we know that monetary compensation for a pet that has gone
missing is never going to be adequate...so it's worth discussing how
best to go about finding a pet when they disappear.
File a report. Sites like

make it easy for you to put together a profile for your
missing pet. This profile includes a written description, as well as
a photo if you have one available. Doing this gets the word out that
your pet is out there somewhere, and enables people to identify it
should they come across it.
Make home an easy target.
Often when pets go missing, it isn't necessarily that they don't want
to return home so much as it is that they don't know how. If you
surround the exterior of your home with cues that will help your pet
to identify the house as their own home, you increase the likelihood
of your pet knowing that this is the place to which they should
return if they should happen to wander by. Food and water are a good
start, as well as personal articles that smell like home.
Engage in a search. Try
to recall your pets habits, and to be on the lookout for places in
the neighborurhood that would appeal to them. Be prepared to speak
with neighbours in order to enlist whatever help they are willing to
offer. It's useful to bring photos with you that you can leave with
them, as well as writing implements for exchanging contact
information. If your pet has a companion pet in your home, sometimes
bring the companion pet along on the search can help increase the
likelihood of finding and retrieving the lost pet.
Post fliers. If you are
unable to find your pet after your first search, it's a good idea to
post fliers as quickly as you can. Keep the information on these
fliers concise: only include a photo of the pet, along with its
colour, size, and name, and a contact number you can be reached at.
(You may prefer to leave a cell phone number in this case). Where
should you be posting the fliers? You may be surprised at how far
your pet has wandered. A substantial number of missing pets are found
more than 25 km away from their homes, so use that as a guideline.
Contact organizations. Vet
hospitals in your neighbourhood, as well as animal shelters, are
among the best of these to be in touch with, as these are the likely
places where a person who may have found your pet would have dropped
it off. Visiting frequently (every day if you can) will ensure that
you stay on top of new drop-offs, so as not to miss your pet if it
does turn up there.
